/ As many OF the readers Ci THE GAzETTE
are pUzzlipg over simple 81 / appropriate
! oifte, 3 few are appended in the hope that
tle7 ma7 at least serve as hints IN the
preparation OF something for the loved
ones The little folks CT the family have
for the b3by can De made by an elder sis
ter from the scraps of W0zsted that have
I been left in making other things. Get a
small pestehoard bnx snd inclose in it 8
little brass bell, wind the bits Of crewel
around this until the bell is large enough,
and then divide it into eight sections by
tying cord around four times, then with
suitable needle threaded with bright
colsred wool begin at one OF the points
where these cords cross and pass the
needle under snd over each one until by
going round until the crossing at the
other end is reached. BABY loves red,
and bright, soft ball like this affords
great fun to the little fodder.
For the bigger poy toy whip and reins
TO play horse are very nice, and almost
any little girl can make them, who has
learned plain knitting. Take some rem
nants of crewel asd on good stout needle
cas-. on twelve stitches, knitting back and
forth in garter stitch until strip about
three incnes long is made, then use AL
! other cslcr and SO on until the strip is
long enough, then sew this around cord
of twisted wool and the reins are COM
, pleted. The whip will faYe to be bought,
but tie pretty ribbon on the hanilo and
! be sure it snaps, or little brother will be
disappointed.
A teaspoon basket OF crocheted ma
crane cord and ribbon is pretty present
| for mamma. First, the wire frame,
which can be purchased at some
hardware shop, or made of stout wire, is
! seven and half inches long, three inches
wide, and two inches deep; and the loops
| OF wire for the feet are esca three inches
| long. The cover is cr0cheted in open
stitches, forming lattice work, snd after
| it is made it is etiffeneG with starch,
| fastened on the frame, dried, aud var
pished with broke sChellac. The basket
! is then lined with daEk blue satin, and
| finished with a dark blue satin RIBBON
ruChe sDd bows. Any color in ribbon
, and satin may be used, according to taste.
| & photograph bag is easily made, eud
will do for the young lady sister. TIE
! latest photograph bag il made Of twelve
! inch squsre of plush lined with satin,
then caught up cOrnerwise snd the re-
naming points turned over. II Is well to
place thickness of sheet cotton between
the plush and the satir, and sd q little
| sweet-scented powder. Dark blue plush,
embroidered with daisies in yellow
ribbon, and lined with faint
yellow satin, the corners finished
with yellow balls, you will find a happy
combination for beg OF this kind. The
daisies might have garnet filoselIe CEN
tres, in which case the lining should be
garnet also. OF course, cardinal plush
&nd yellow satin would be effective; or
orange plush might be embroidered with
spray ot lilacs or wisteria in their
natural shades. Suspend the bag by a
loop Of cord or ribbon to match either
the plush or the satin.
